* My BP (just systolic-the top # ) was a little high for me but no worries. I have been doing a lot this past week=)

* Next Edition's heartbeat a little higher than usual but prob just because he was just moving around our doc said=)

We've been staying up pretty late every night trying to get the house ready before our next sweet guy comes! I'm feeling great overall and have had a little burst of nesting energy but I am pretty tired this time around=) Little back pain but we did sleep on the couches for two nights because Hubby painted our room=) And little belly pain I think because I've been doing more but the chiropractor helped a lot with all of that today! We have so much left to do!! (well that we'd (I'd haha) like to get done=))

[yes this is the same outfit i had on last week!! i told you i was running out of clothes that fit=)]

BabyBoy's B-Day is tomorrow!!! So before I can tell his birth story I have to give you the preface!! So here it is...=)

We were more than ecstatic to take that fourth preggy test (haha, the first "we" may have had technical difficulties with, the second and third were just too unclear, is that a line, it looks like a line, we don't know!=)) at the grocery store before we had to get to work. We couldn't stop laughing and crying and hugging in the parking lot! That was the day that I missed the visit from Auntie P. We were 4 weeks on the money. =) And couldn't wipe the enormous smiles from our faces! [It was our third month of trying=)]

*5 Weeks - Blood test to confirm pregnancy =) More smiles!

*4-7 Weeks - Saw a little bit of blood... hmm.

*7 Weeks - First internal sonogram. We could barely contain our excitement! We saw that sweet little bean BUT our doctor also found a blood clot, in my uterus but outside of the baby's sac. Pretty rare! Not the biggest clot they'd ever seen but not the smallest either = Immediate bedrest. Oh boy.

Why? The prayer was that the clot would get absorbed or dissipate and no matter what not get bigger. Otherwise it might compromise room for the baby's sac to grow with him. The clot could also pass little by little but if I was too active and the clot passed all at one time, it could take everything including baby bean with it, causing a miscarriage. That was a scary thought.

The beginning of A LOT of prayers... [and a lot of sub plans, I was a high school orchestra director =)]

to be cont. ...

I hope any of that made sense, I am sooo tired =)! I can't wait to catch up on all of you!!! I hope you're doing great!!

[ooh craving something fried... I haven't had fried zucchini in a long time=)... and a small ice cream cone from Mickey Ds =)... maybe that is part of the reason for my ?? weight gain!!! Don't worry I'll tell you but I bet you couldn't guess how much I've gained so far! Oh my gosh, it's a ton you guys!]

Aww, the story of you two finding out is so precious!! It makes me so eager to find out with my hubby too some day. I pray every day that God will bless us with children! Thanks for sharing! Excited for part 2.
